    Hi,

    1 .Wanted to check how i can add a link from the listing (front end) to the author page? I saw an earlier thread which suggested using the claims plugin, but i cannot find that setting in V2.
    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/add-author-link-to-post/#post-380454

    2. Now, similarly, if i also want to have a link in the listing page in admin dashboard, linking to the author’s user profile in admin- how can i do that?

    thanks,
    Vivek

    Hi vivek,

    Thanks for your post. That post is referring to the older GD version. In GDV2, you can insert a link to the author using shortcodes. Insert the shortcode below into your GD Archive Page Template to display it on your listing page. 

    [gd_post_meta key="post_author"]

    Thanks very much, Kor.

    The second part of my query was how can i easily see the authors user profile page, in the dashboard, either from the CPT listing page, or from the post page. I need the admin to view some details in the authors profile fields before approving the post, but cannot click through from the list/post page directly to the author’s user profile.

    Any suggestion?
    thanks, Vivek

    GD does not have profile pages for authors.
    Maybe you mean UsersWP?
    In that case link to the page that is set for the profile.
